Wyoming has highest gun per capita rate...and below average murder rate, guns don't cause murder.

WYoning [sic] has highest gun per capita rate...and below average murder rate, guns don't cause murder.

No shit, Sherlock. Wyoming also has the thinnest population density in the conterminous 48. That's far more relevant.

What does population density have to do with gun violence? Remember people don't kill other people....guns do.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Makes no difference. Per capita is by the head. Density has nothing to do with it. If the people in South Dakota owned 50 guns each< per person<per capita, then South Dakota would own more guns, per capita than Wyoming.

Here is an example of a study on how healthcare is covered according to density. In order to have a constant to compare counties per density, they used a per capita expenditure as a gauge. That is, what one head, one person, would spend on healthcare:

We execute a cross-sectional analysis of 178 country-level observations. This is represented by equation (1), in which the subscript c denotes a country-specific variable. To hold the health system’s resources constant, we include per capita health expenditure...

Regardless of where the per capita (single person) received their health care, this is what one person would be expected to spend on healthcare.
They use per capita as a unit of population. It is equal to each individual of any other state.

Bullshit.
Population density is the whole point. It's right there in my first post and echoed by several other posters. It's stating the obvious. You tried to ignore it and pretend "population" was the noun, now you just look stupid.
The OP premise is complete bullshit There's no way to rehabilitate it.

I'm not the one who looks stupid. You simply can't seem to grasp per capita. Here is another example:
...per capita income, or average income per person, is equal to approximately....

It doesn't matter one bit what the collective density of an area is. Per capita income is the average income per person.
Per person, or head, or individual, is singular. Dense population is plural.

noun pop·u·la·tion
^
the number of people who live in a place.
a group of people or animals of a particular kind that live in a place.

Dense could also be used to explain your inability to understand English though...

But many, many more times the guns than people you ******* retard… LOL
You Logic is that more guns equal more crime - **** your stupid.
Why Don't you punch yourself in the face like 20 times maybe that wake you up then you can educate yourself on the matter...

 

[Rustic]

Hey asswipe......sorry, the anti gun nuts tell us that doesn't matter...that just the mere presence of guns turns normal, law abiding into killers....so wyomings gun murder rate should be higher than the national norm since they have so many guns per capita........and th y don't...

And your link to this is ------------- where?

Oh wait ... here he comes now.

Vermont has the same population as Balitmore with almost zero gun control laws...Baltimore has every single gun law you mutters want......they are your dream city......and the Baltimore gun murder rate is higher than the whole state of Vermont........so access to guns, number of guns has nothing to do with the gun murder rate........criminal control and criminal culture determines the murder rate...

Again --- Vermont is the most rural state in the US, counted by number of population living in rural vs. city dwellings.

--- which underscores that my first post sailed completely over your head.

What are you some type a child, there are many, many, many times the guns in Vermont as opposed to people you ******* moron...
People kill people not firearms… LOL

 

[pwjohn]

Wyomings low population makes for some interesting demographics in many areas.

So you agree with me that we don't have a gun problem but we do have major problems with our cities and that gun control aimed at law abiding people isn't needed

Actually, it is the high rate of single teenage mothers, for generations, that has created a culture of crime and murder....and accepts criminality as the norm. You have a higher population density in Japan.......and their criminals get guns.....but, all of their crime is extremely low....because their people do not tolerate it...as a group...they do not glorify it or excuse it or protect it the way our inner city minorities do.....

maybe, but then why does almost all sub-sahara Africa have the same murder rate as American blacks?

 

[rightwinger]

Sorry to disagree with you..that isn't the argument the gun grabbers make......they make the specific argument that more guns mean more gun crime...they state that if you have more guns.....that automatically means more people will shoot each other...

Again -- nobody made that argument. Except this guy.

--- You sincerely don't get why that's a bogus argument, do you?

Does that mean when gun control nuts use per capita gun ownership trying to support the laws they want passed they are no longer relevant?

Such as?

The argument Liberals use that the U.S. has the highest per capita gun ownership rate in the world, therefore, we have more murders because we have more guns. That one.

Based on what say, the per capita arguments are no longer valid.

The U.S. Has the highest per capita gun ownership rate, we have more murders because we have more guns

Not in Wyoming. They have something there called white people.

Do you understand what terms like "rate" or "per capita" mean in relation to total numbers or are you deliberately distorting facts in order to press an anti-gun agenda?

Okay, California, well known for being the most liberal state in the union also has the most murders, 1813 in 2014 according to this CDC link: Murder Rates Nationally and By State | Death Penalty Information Center

Now, it's rate is 4.6, which is less than half of #1 Louisiana's 11.7. So which number do you think is most appropriate? Whatever number suits your political agenda or something scientific like the rate?

The tell me why our murder rate has dropped steadily from a peak in the early 90s to 1950 levels today even though we have far far more guns owned by citizens now than in 1950

 

[Theowl32]

I wonder what the lowest density of blacks per state is.

Anyone know? Anyone?

Ooooops, did I just make a point? Is Wyoming known for a high density of blacks? Ooooops, I meant..."African American."

No connection?

we do not have the highest murder rate, we may have the highest number of murders but that is because we are the 3rd or 4th most populous country. Rates per capita are what matters, hope you are smart enough to know that.

It is mathematically incorrect to mix the ownership rate with the total number of murders. You must compare rates with rates, or are you intentionally being dishonest?

Correct it is mathematically incorrect to mix such things, but it's typical Left Wing Lying to do so. They are very deceitful when it comes to pressing their political agenda.

Nigeria: 500 ppl/square mile, gun ownership:1.5 guns per 100, murder rate:10.3 per 100000

Switzerland: 523 ppl/sq mile, gun ownership: 45.7guns per 100, murder rate:0.5 per 100,000

it isn't population density either, inverse relationship to guns, race is the only correlation
